MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR ANDPRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERGrowing Stronger Together is our goal, and it’s what <strong>YMCA</strong>s and <strong>YMCA</strong>-YWCAs in <strong>Canada</strong> are doing. Our growth in reach and scope, our strong programs,our regional and national networks, and our work with many collaborators has led to innovative approaches to healthy living and community building. Today,we’re reaching 1.8 million Canadians in over 250 communities.This annual report celebrates our many accomplishments in supporting member associations over the past three years of our strategic plan, “GrowingStronger Together, 2004-<strong>2006</strong>.” The plan supported new and renewed resources in programs such as aquatics, fitness, child care, asset building for healthydevelopment and <strong>YMCA</strong> Priority: SAM to provide all members with excellent service. <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> supplemented these resources with comprehensivetraining to create a cadre of leaders qualified to train other staff and volunteers.(2)


Our commitment to building strong kids was marked with the launch of a national <strong>YMCA</strong> Playing to Learn curriculum. With the <strong>YMCA</strong> of Greater Torontoas the lead association, this curriculum for <strong>YMCA</strong> licensed pre-school child care centres helps children discover learning through creative play and alignswith primary school benchmarks.Ongoing strategic information and research provided by <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> assisted <strong>YMCA</strong>s with future planning of services and programs in more communities.A Strong Association Profile provided key indicators of strength for associations to evaluate and enhance their own ongoing health. <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> continuedto prepare the next generation of <strong>YMCA</strong> leaders through many new and ongoing leadership development initiatives.We thank our energetic and dedicated national Board volunteers for their direction and keen interest in advancing our mission. Our Board membersand <strong>YMCA</strong> staff, as seen below, work together to strengthen <strong>YMCA</strong>s. We also thank our <strong>YMCA</strong> associations and the <strong>YMCA</strong> Management Resource Centresfor their close collaborations which have further contributed to our collective growth and strength.We’re excited about our next strategic plan developed over the past year. This new plan will set our future direction for strengthening associations, andworking together to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.Patricia PeltonChair, Board of DirectorsMichael WeilPresident andChief Executive Officer(3)


GROWTH(4)


<strong>YMCA</strong> CANADA IS A FEDERATION OF 48 <strong>YMCA</strong>sAND 9 <strong>YMCA</strong>-YWCAs.As a federation, we embrace our collective vision, strengthening our <strong>YMCA</strong>movement, and maintaining our commitment to helping Canadians stayhealthy in spirit, mind and body.The <strong>YMCA</strong> in <strong>Canada</strong> continued to reach more people, in more communities through expanding programs and centres that spread into urban neighbourhoodsand rural areas alike. Over the last three years, participation in the <strong>YMCA</strong> jumped from 1.6 million to 1.8 million in our six key areas: health, fitness and recreation;camping; child care; employment, education and training; community outreach; and international development. The <strong>YMCA</strong> is the largest provider of not-for-profitchild care in <strong>Canada</strong>, and through our financial assistance programs, the <strong>YMCA</strong> remains accessible to all.<strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> assisted associations in planning their future services and centres by providing strategic research on societal trends, health, communitypartnerships, and national satisfaction surveys of <strong>YMCA</strong> members. <strong>YMCA</strong> data collection and analysis and a new Strong Association Profile further supportedassociation Boards and staff with their overall assessment of their association’s strength. In <strong>2006</strong>, <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> undertook a 12-month strategic planningprocess with <strong>YMCA</strong> leaders to determine <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong>’s future direction for 2007-2011.(5)

STRENGTH(8)


STRONG <strong>YMCA</strong>s BUILD STRONG KIDS, FAMILIESAND COMMUNITIES.<strong>YMCA</strong>s draw their collective strength from their values and their longstandingexperience in responding to emerging community needs by delivering qualityand accessible programs.The <strong>YMCA</strong> is a charity that believes in the potential of people. <strong>YMCA</strong> programs are anchored in the development of personal growth in spirit, mind and body.<strong>YMCA</strong>s promote a sense of belonging, and provide people and communities with opportunities to serve and lead.<strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> works to strengthen <strong>YMCA</strong>s by developing quality national program resources that reflect our values of caring, respect, honesty, inclusivenessand responsibility. New and renewed program resources in <strong>YMCA</strong> Aquatics and <strong>YMCA</strong> Fitness reflect our focus on high standards and developing healthierchildren, individuals, and families. We are working on new strategies to address the overall health of children and youth, to serve the aging population,and to help people get started and stay motivated in active living. Internationally, <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> supports association partnerships with overseas <strong>YMCA</strong>sbased on mutual learning, sustainable long term development and building <strong>YMCA</strong> capacity to meet the most urgent community needs.Our focus on continuous learning has led to ongoing training and leadership development of <strong>YMCA</strong> volunteers and staff nationwide. <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong>works to ensure associations have the leadership capacity to meet the challenges of growth and diversity in the communities they serve.(9)

COLLABORATION(12)


BY WORKING TOGETHER IN MANY DIVERSEPARTNERSHIPS, <strong>YMCA</strong>s STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES.The <strong>YMCA</strong> seeks partnerships that bring mutual strengths to supporthealthy living and community building.An increase in external collaborations has led to more <strong>YMCA</strong> health promotion and disease prevention initiatives. <strong>YMCA</strong>s are developing partnerships withmunicipalities, schools, health groups, hospitals, universities, and governments to help improve the health of more Canadians.Partnerships with municipalities have led to new <strong>YMCA</strong> centres, expansions and renovations as well as additional programs to reach more children,youth, adults and families. Through partnerships with school boards, <strong>YMCA</strong>s deliver a wide range of programs from youth drop-in to after school child care, torecreation sports and homework help. Collaborations with hospitals or health districts have resulted in <strong>YMCA</strong> health programs such as cardiac rehabilitation,arthritis and osteoporosis management, seniors programs and stroke recovery.<strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> continued its work with several disease prevention organizations. The <strong>YMCA</strong> Youth Exchanges <strong>Canada</strong> program, funded by CanadianHeritage, gave 2,258 youth the chance to experience <strong>Canada</strong>'s diversity first-hand, and to develop a stronger sense of community. The Federal Public SectorYouth Internship program, sponsored by Human Resources and Skills Development <strong>Canada</strong> in partnership with the <strong>YMCA</strong>, provided 477 students with valuableinternship experience in the public sector. Funding for these programs, led by the <strong>YMCA</strong> of Greater Toronto, was renewed.Today, <strong>YMCA</strong>s are working together more than ever before. This has led to shared administrative services, joint governance structures, and shared <strong>YMCA</strong>initiatives that build association capacity and enable <strong>YMCA</strong>s to deliver more programs to more Canadians.(13)

<strong>YMCA</strong> CANADA STRATEGIC PLAN 2007-2011BUILDING ON O<strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong>’s new strategic plan, “Building on our Strength 2007-2011” was developed over the last yearin consultation with key <strong>YMCA</strong> leaders and external stakeholders. Recognizing the ongoing challenges ofemerging and changing community needs, this plan will strengthen and support associations in stayingfocused, relevant and innovative.Our strength is our Delivery of Service System. <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong>works closely with four regional Management Resource Centres (MRCs) to develop and share resources andto deliver national programs, training and joint regional and national initiatives. The four MRCs are located inthe <strong>YMCA</strong> of Greater Vancouver, the <strong>YMCA</strong> of Edmonton, the <strong>YMCA</strong> of Greater Toronto, and the <strong>YMCA</strong> ofGreater Montreal. This dynamic Delivery of Service System keeps <strong>YMCA</strong> leaders connected and responsiveto emerging issues.(18)


R STRENGTHOver the next five years, <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> together with the MRCs will support associations with the implementationof newly developed program resources. We will also provide timely research and information, and nationaltraining and leadership development opportunities tailored to the <strong>YMCA</strong> movement and to charitable sectorchallenges. We will continue to support the growing number of ways <strong>YMCA</strong>s are working together.Another key priority of our new strategic plan is thedevelopment of a national <strong>YMCA</strong> Healthy Children andYouth Strategy. This strategy will guide everythingthat we do related to children and youth such as: policy development,<strong>YMCA</strong> programs, design of facility spaces, staff and volunteer training, partnership choices, identifyingcommunication messages, creating best practices, and the development of success indicators. The momentumgained over the last few years makes this a very exciting time for <strong>YMCA</strong>s, as together, we work to achieveour shared vision, and build on our strength.(19)
